So I spent some time in Mexico City and Cuernavaca in May 2005. Took a bus from Cuernavaca down to Acapulco ($US25) and went to a travel agency. They didn't have ANYTHING left, all the hotels were booked. I had no idea that it was "Semana Santa" (Holy week) in Mexico. Acapulco basically becomes New Orleans/Mardis Gras!!! Students, Drugs, Crime, it's all bad! Of course if you like to party then go for it, but this hotel SUCKED. I checked in and paid $300 US for 3 nights. That's $100/night, when it usually goes for $49/night. They doubled the price!
My Room: Toilet did not flush. No hot water. AC didn't work. Two double beds were both HARD, and only one of them had a pillow (1 room, 2 beds, 1 pillow!!!). The phone had NO CORD IN IT!!!! I sat on my bed and literally cried for like 30 seconds. I wanted the perfect vacation and got a bunch of crap!
I went down to the lobby and DEMANDED my money back. Surprisingly, they were like, ok no problem! So the staff was very nice. I went back to the travel agency and the only other hotel option was Las Brisas, one of the best. I was able to put my $300 towards the new hotel, but it was $2250 MEX PESOS/night (US $210). I WOULD NEVER STAY AT ACAPULCO PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
